POSTAL CHANGES.
New Arrangements for Money Orders to
Foreign Countries.

Important changes occur in the money
order system of the United States with
several foreign countries April /. The
changes are outlined and instructions
given in circulars issued from the post
office department at Washington and al
ready received in this city. Under pro
visions of duly concluded conventions be.
tween our own country and Norway and
the Netherlands, the transaction of the
international money order business with
those countries will be direct after that
date. Formerly orders payable in those
countries were drawn here as German
money orders The United States ex-
change office will be located at New York
city, to which any postofice can send the
orders, and the Norwegian Office is at
Christiana, while the Netherlands, is at
The Hague. The fees will not be changed.
Money orders can also be sent thereafter
to Egypt, payable at Alexandria, and to
Turkey, payable at Constantinople, Bey-
reuth, Salonica and Smyrna, by the French
as well as the British system in sterling
money as now. The orders will be sent
in French money, payable at the French
postoflices. At the Alexandria and other
British postoffices the authorities deduct
second charges for the exchange while
the French system will make no extra
charges. The British system gives the
sender receipt and the French gives the
order to be transmitted to the payee the
same as money is sent within our own
country. Each is equally good as the
money, if lost, could be obtained on pre-
sentation of either. Neither system
charges second fees for Turkish orders
Money orders can also be sent after the
| first of the month to Ceylon, Straits set
Elements, Cyprus and Gibraltar, on which
the fees in this country will be the same
as on all international orders, but in ad
dition the British authorities will deduct
second charges at the Office where the
payee receives the amount sent. These
last named places are entirely without The
reach of any system at present. The
amount to be sent to them must be ISSUED
in sterling money like all British orders
while orders sent to this country from
those points will reach here the same a.
orders originating from the United King
dom of Ireland.

BLAINE's TRIP TO EUROPE.
The Plumed Knight will Remain Abroad
Until After the Convention of 1888.

A New York despatch says: In June
Mr. Blaine will sail for Europe. All the
arrangements for the voyage have been
made. And now comes the part which
many people will consider strange, but
which the few politicians who are in the
secret pronounce an act of consummate
tact. Mr. Blaine will remain abroad a
year. He will be in Europe when the
next Republican convention, which is ex-
pected to nominate him for the presidency
is held. Mr.. Blaine's friends say
he is Indifferent to nomination,
and has decided to 90 abroad to
indicate his indifference to his party.
He Is quoted as expressing himself
as absolutely Disguised with the constant
pressure brought to bear upon him to ac-
cept the nomination. He thinks that by
going abroad he will escape these impor-
tunities His friends say that he will
neither seek nor avoid nomination to the
presidency. If it comes he will accept it,
that is all Mr.. Blaine's friends give out
in concert that he is to spend his time
abroad in studying labor questions and
social problems.

conductor on the Rensselaer, and Sara

About eight years ago he was appointed to
position in the registered letter depart

considered an especially good clerk and
was soon promoted to the position of fore
man Of the night force. 1t was not until
department that suspicion was aroused
against him, but for the last four months
he has been closely watched The story
Of his confession, as told by Inspector
Dosser, relative to the methods by which
he managed to get possession Of the pack
age, shows that the theft had been care
fully planned.
Clark takes his arrest with the utmost
nonchalance. He acts rs though it was OF
years of age and of quite clerical appear
ance. Whom arraigned before the com
missioners he was dressed in black and
carried carefully brushed black hat in
his hand. When asked by Commissioner
Gritfiths what he had to say to the charges
made against him, he waved his hand ma
jestically and declined to plead.
